TO SET UP VOLUME REPLICATION WITH FAILOVER WITH MULTIPATH, PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
1. Hardware configuration: Settings server names, ethernet ports on both nodes. 2. Configure the Secondary node: Create a Volume Group, iSCSI Volume
Configure Volume Replication mode (destination mode) settings mirror IP address

3. Configure the Primary node Create a Volume Group, iSCSI Volume Configure Volume Replication mode (source mode) settings mirror IP address, creating Volume Replication task and start replication task. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
